Happy Friday! Today I have another get well card to share. The last one was fancy, this one is whimsical! The recipient of this cards loves cats and she has a really fun personality, so I pulled out the Playful Pets Designer Paper (DSP) which is perfect for her! Here is my card:
I don't have the corresponding stamp set (Pampered Pets) but that is no problem when I have this adorable DSP that has lots of fun pictures of cats and dogs for all of us animal lovers. Check out the fun patterns in this collection below!
Here are the instructions on how I made this card from the card base to the top:
- Cardbase: Basic Black cardstock cut to 8 1/2 x 5 1/2", scored in half, folded, crease with bone folder
- Cut pawprint/heart page of Playful Pets DSP to 4 x 5 1/4", adhere with Multipurpose Liquid Glue
- Cut Basic Black cardstock to 5 1/4 x 1", punch with Banners Pick A Punch
- Ink the sentiment from Healing Hugs Stamp Set with Versamark ink, stamp onto right side of the black banner
- Apply White Emboss Powder directly on the Versamark stamped sentiment, shake off excess, and then heat emboss with Heat Tool
- Adhere the embossed banner in the center of the card with liquid glue
- Die cut Real Red cardstock with the swirl die from the Painted Labels Die
- Punch out the cat image (or image of your choice) with the 2" Circle Punch
- Glue the cat image in the center of the Real Red Swirl with liquid glue
- Adhere the Red layer with Stampin Dimensionals over the black banner to the left of the sentiment
- Add a heart from the Playful Pets Trinkets for a little extra specialness! Adhere with a Mini Glue Dot.
Note that I use Multipurpose Liquid Glue, however you can easily use Stampin' Seal instead. I just happen to prefer the liquid glue as it allows me a little wiggle time to straighten the paper before sealing. If you do use the liquid glue, just remember a little bit goes a long way!
For the inside of the card, I cut a layer of Whisper White cardstock to 5 1/4 x 4" and adhered that with liquid glue. I inked the sentiment from Healing Hugs Stamp Set with Real Red Ink and stamped in the center. Then I added a little strip of the paw print paper (approx 5 1/4 x 1/2") at the bottom for a little decoration.
Here is a close up of the card so you can see the layers better. I just love this little cat licking his paw without a care in the world and hope it makes the recipient of this card chuckle too.
